Continental 315 Series

The Continental 315 5 kW Series (including the 316 10 kW Series, which added a second PA tube) used Doherty (grid) Modulation, modulating the bias supply of the carrier and peak tubes.

 

A photograph from the Manual of the Continental 315, 5 kW. Transmitter.

The  316 10 kW version would be the same transmitter with two different tubes in the final. The tubes are essentially the same size.
